Abstract
Analyze the literature for knowledge about charismatic leadership among nursing professionals. This is an integrative review of the literature that searched for studies published in English, Portuguese and Spanish until 2016 in the following electronic databases: LILACS, Pubmed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and CINAHL. Three studies were selected from a total of twenty-one studies; they were arranged in two categories: validation of a charismatic leadership instrument and effects of charismatic leadership on followers' initiative-oriented behavior. Charismatic leadership is considered an important skill for nursing professionals as they generate a positive influence on followers, especially in times of crisis and changes. Considering the relevance of this style of leadership, the need to develop further studies on this subject is reinforced, given the low number of studies found in the literature.
Highlights
Over the last few years, many changes have taken place in socioeconomic, political, ethical and philosophical contexts
A total of 211 nursing professionals participated in this evaluation; they were from a public hospital, subordinate to the nurse manager of the unit and/or shift
Further studies should be conducted on the subject, since nursing leadership contributes to successful care provision
Summary
Over the last few years, many changes have taken place in socioeconomic, political, ethical and philosophical contexts. Knowledge incorporated a broader and more flexible view, requiring courses and training to incorporate new skills, such as leadership[1,2] In this sense, the labor market has increasingly demanded leadership practice from nursing professionals[3]. The labor market has increasingly demanded leadership practice from nursing professionals[3] Such leadership in health organizations is in a process of transition from more rigid and hierarchical models to leadership models based on flexibility and democracy, enabling environments of collective discussion[4]. These changes have required the entrepreneurship of professionals and relational characteristics to manage care and exercise their leadership, in order to qualify care and drive institutional improvements[5]
